6:00 pm
>> tucker: what you just said sounds like science and i wish we had more of it. great to see you tonight, thank you. that's it for rest tonight. we back monday, have a great weekend with the ones you love, see you soon. ♪ ♪ >> welcome to the special edition of hannity. i am dan bongino in tonight for sean. joe biden and the extreme democrats are failing at the border, feeling abroad, and failing to deliver for working-class americans all across this great country and the worst part is they are doubling down in this reckless radical irresponsible socialist agenda every single chance they get. for example, joe biden's unveiling of whopping
6:01 pm
$6 trillion budget proposal, the largest in u.s. history that would vastly expand the size and scope of the already bloated government and your role in managing your everyday life. according to estimates, it would put the budget deficit at 1.3 trillion per year for the next decade. and would put us on a path to having the highest international debt as a proportion of the economy so don't be fooled by the political platitudes, they are cheap nonsense talking points and far left fantasies. what he is doing is mortgaging our future and creating a perfect storm for fiscal chaos for current and future generations. what joe biden is doing right now is not smart, not even saint and certainly not sustainable. it's a big government binge of more taxes, more debt, more spending and guaranteed turmoil. don't buy the lies that these chileans will be paid by the so-called rich, do the math,
6:02 pm
it's common sense. in the end, this will be paid for by you, working-class dirt under the fingernails who work for a living all across the country. and what about inflation? rising costs at the gas pump and at grocery stores, going to have to pay for that too but the destructive democratic agenda doesn't stop there. because despite the crisis at our southern border, the budget leaves the budget flat. the one thing we should be devoting more resources to is the one item he decided to leave out, but they continue to play defense for joe on every term continue to act as an arm of the democrat party instead of focusing on biden's failures and his total, complete inability to lead. don't believe me? look at this embarrassing fiasco this week when they asked sleepy about his ice cream, take a look.
6:03 pm
>> mr. president, why did you serve? >> chocolate chocolate chip. >> what is your message to republicans prepared to block the january 6 commission? >> chocolate chocolate chip. >> dan: nice work, fellows. a hard-hitting. joining me now, conservative union chairman matt schlapp along with former white house chief of staff reince priebus. thank you for joining me, really appreciate it. i will go to you first, we are going bankrupt, trillions of dollars of debt, we'll more than the country actually produces every year and everyone is whistling dixie past the graveyard, what do you say? >> first of all, we had all of this emergency spending, we've never spent so much as a country and now it looks like we are not going to go back to normal levels, just going to stay there and ante up and this is only a
6:04 pm
slice of the socialist agenda, only pieces of it, not even point and then there is the use of noxious parts to it, joe biden, the devout catholic who lectures is constantly literally making christian voters, catholic voters, voters of faith pay for abortions. this is the kind of thing that is just never going to unify this country if we can't understand and respect somebody's deeply held principles of faith. >> dan: certainly not this great and kid he tried to run on. i was appreciate you joining us for perspective from the other side of the aisle but i have a serious question, you are an economics professor, the percentage of the debt to gdp where a professor gets genuinely worried about a potential national bankruptcy, what is the
6:05 pm
number? >> is all the economists will tell you, there is not a single number, depends how fast the economy is growing, what that level you can sustain and depends on what the interest rates are, well above where we are now. but i can't understand besides the disinformation campaign against ice cream is where were you guys when donald trump was running. >> timeout, tio, hold on. >> lower than the ones that gave him. >> timeout on the field, folks, red flag, going under the hood for review. i have been a credit about that and will send the clips, that is nonsense so that's why have you on, but that's nonsense. let me ask you a simple question unfollow, can we agree on this, me and you both, can we both
6:06 pm
agree excessive government debt and spending is a problem regardless of who does it? >> of it's not an investment, we can agree. >> dan: there's always a caveat. doing another round here, but it's clear at this point we are never going to repay this debt, we can inflate our way out of it but we are borrowing absurd amounts of money. it is there ever going to be an end to this hope we don't stand up and take a stand, even some republicans wanted the $20 infrastructure bill, it's insane. >> it is insane. i think austin would agree, first of all, this budget isn't going anywhere, it's a political document and what it does is it tells you what these guys are all about. in that budget, it's also calling for $3.4 trillion in new
6:07 pm
taxes and the university of pennsylvania did a study and said even if you increase taxes all the way to 70% and increase every other tax by 25%, you couldn't balance the budget and i think you remember ronald reagan set is not so much the american people are overtaxed, is that the government in washington is overfed and in wisconsin where i come from, this is like a scandinavian smorgasbord when it comes to being overfed but make no mistake, this is about progressives that think going the government can actually spur economic growth, it's a political document and i know it doesn't work, this is what they are about and is a wake-up call to the republican party, even a wake-up call to the things that austin said, both parties the spending eventually is going to
6:08 pm
kill us and the only one in the end that are going to have the money for the people doling it out. >> dan: it's not like we haven't tried this before, remember the jimmy carter malaise. we tried this before. we have this incredible thing where unemployment was high, and inflation was high too. jimmy carter managed to screw up something nobody thought was even possible where people weren't working in prices were still going up. >> all presidents no matter what party they come from know the number one question about whether or not they get reelected is whether or not people feel optimistic about their personal role in the economy. because we are practical people, the problem for joe biden just underneath his approval and the questions in the economy and coronavirus are incredibly toxic unpopular policies. look at what he's doing with
6:09 pm
iran, this open southern border, critical race theory and his embrace of these radical policies, his approach on immigration is only at "30 for 30" 5%. that issue will drive these midterm elections underneath some kind of phone numbers of his approvals are real danger on the policy front so he will try to spend just to keep that economy going. i don't think it's going to work. >> dan: quite a grip. got a two-parter for you here. so the first part of my question i asked you before, you don't know the number, the percentage of debt to gdp where we could go bankrupt then why should we trust the budget buffoons in washington, d.c., who don't you think if they don't know the red line, maybe we should avoid the redline? go ahead. first part. >> is not a red line. less than a second part. >> dan: the second part is they are talking about dumping
6:10 pm
that trump tax cuts. he did cut taxes for the middle class despite liberal protestations otherwise. to 12%, so if biden dumps that, is that a tax hike on the middle class? >> it would be but they're not talking about getting rid of that, only for the part of the families over 400,000, what i can't understand is your guys approach, joe biden ran for president and publicly got up instead if you vote for me, i will invest in infrastructure. i will subsidize education and he got 70 million more votes than donald trump got. and now is going to do what he said he was going to do. >> dan: matt is right, he will cost you some serious seats in the midterm but that's not true,
6:11 pm
he ran as the lunch bucket guy and on that note, he also said he was going to dump the trump tax cuts and said it repeatedly. this claim he will only do it for the upper echelon of taxpayers is absurd. it you know for a fact. he gave you the number. >> dan: are you suggesting to me the real money in america is not with the middle class and that he is going to magically take this money from rich people? you don't really believe that. >> he wrote it down on a piece of paper that you can read what the tax rates would go up, big corporations. switching the topic, the money is not there. the money is not they are you know that. the money to pay for 6 trillion? come on. that is total nonsense. you cannot raise 6 trillion in taxes solely from 1% of the
6:12 pm
population, total bunk and you know it. but we agreed it's a friday night, got to run. i enjoy this segment, everybody enjoy your memorial day weekend, we appreciate it, good spirited debate, thank you. also developing a tonight, the biden administration continues to go soft on china despite increasing evidence supporting the theory that we weren't about the whole time with the coronavirus origins. when asked yesterday of the biden administration would seek to punish china for their cover-up, biden's principal deputy press secretary replied "we are not going to go there just yet." the new house bills would launch a coronavirus origins probe and allow the allow victims families to sue beijing and that's not all. we are also learning the u.s. reportedly has unexamined intelligence on where exactly the virus started. and get this, former trump official part of the former secretary of state probe into
6:13 pm
the virus says the investigation found almost no evidence, and zero supporting the natural origin theory. take a look. >> we were finding that despite the claims of our scientific communities including dr. fauci that there was almost no evidence that supported an evolution, the data disproportionately stacked up as we investigated to be coming out of the lab or some supernatural source. >> dan: but the biden team didn't want to entertain that theory and shut the probe down in the spring. so i don't want to hear anymore nonsense or talk from boneheaded libs about so-called conspiracy theories from this point on, thank you very much. the media and big tech have all been caught with their pants
6:14 pm
down again censoring and trying to suppress information that goes against their political agenda. join any now with reaction, ric grenell along with their well i said. thank you so much. congressman, i'll go to you first. this is obviously common sense that the lab leak theory should at least be analyzed. we have a coronavirus pandemic that originated in wuhan, a coronavirus lab in wuhan that had been cited for security problems in the past. and by the way, found out we had intelligence that three workers in the lab got sick with a coronavirus type illness. was this not the most obvious thing to look at and yet we were called lunatics and conspiracy theorists for daring to bring it up? >> my late father always said if someone looks guilty, could be because they are guilty. when you have those kinds of indications, the important thing to do is to follow the facts and
6:15 pm
the media has told us not to follow the facts, the biden administration has denied them, but the pressure is going for a real commission. we have 3,000 plus people died on 9/11 and we knew some of the facts but still had a commission that dealt deeply to make sure it didn't happen again. we now have 600,000 people dead, trillions of dollars of damage to our economy, countless greater amounts to the entire world, of course we have to look into it and all possibilities and probabilities. >> dan: you've been an absolute warrior for the truth. i follow you and really enjoy your social media reading and you have no problem going back and forth on these media probes. and when are they going to get a story right? the collusion hoax, the tape, are they ever going to get a story right? they spent four years wasting our time with bob mueller on
6:16 pm
that, this tragic global pandemic wipe down with lies and are they ever going to put these guys in the face again? >> outside of washington, no one has faith in them. they look at washington and they say everything that goes on there, they just talk amongst themselves and what newsrooms believe is not with the american people believe. let me just defend the intelligence community here for a minute. from the very beginning, if you go back and look back at april 30th, 2020. the statement from the intelligence community, the agreement was the covid-19 started in china and that it was either the wet market or the lab and that we would begin to look at information over time and we would always bring forward information. the media never understood with
6:17 pm
the intelligence communities were saying. there is no evidence that is unexamined, the intelligence community every single day examined every piece that they had and bubbled it up. anyone is confused as to what the evidence is showing, it is joe biden and the media. the evidence has been there. i'd like to ask why joe biden is suddenly asking for a review, a 90 day review of the evidence. we don't hold back evidence in the intelligence community. he hasn't seen evidence, is because -- that's a real problem. >> dan: from your side on the house side, these three workers, employees and this wuhan coronavirus lab studying these bad coronavirus is were sick with an illness, obviously blood samples taken, had to be. how can we as a government pressure them to release those blood tests and once we get the
6:18 pm
answer there, we should have a pretty definitive answer. there was an early infection from that lab, i think we can isolate the lab theory and say that the likelihood at this point. >> that's the reason the senate and i give them credit unanimously voted to declassify this information beginning to get it out there because the only way to get out of this been are not a conspiracy theorist to understand the president of the united states is the leader of the free world and is the leader of the free world using vast amounts of money and influence to stifle the kind of information that rick saw when he was the director that in fact they need to have the american people understand to get to the truth, not going to get to the truth as long as they have influence over tech and media in a great many politicians including the president.
6:19 pm
>> dan: sad but true. enjoy your weekend ahead. appreciate it. directly ahead, you won't believe what the executive director is stepping down, we have a full report directly ahead. don't miss it. - hello, i'm michael youssef. you know, the covid-19 virus has infected millions around the world, but the virus that has infected every human being on the face of the earth is called sin, and the only vaccine against that virus is the blood of jesus christ shed on the cross.

6:23 pm
>> dan: welcome back to the special edition of hannity. hasn't been a good week, black lives matter cofounder has stepped down as executive director of the group saying she is moving on to focus on a book and tv deal. her departure comes amid rising scrutiny over blm's finances in her own lavish lifestyle. for example, she reportedly went on a real estate buying binge snagging four high-end homes. what a deal.
6:24 pm
at the cost of $3.2 million. socialism is great living over there. remember, blm is supposed to be a nonprofit organization so with the real reason she is leaving the group? we report, you decide. meanwhile, chicago mayor lori lightfoot is being sued for allegedly denying a white reporter's interview request only a week after she said she would only grant exclusive interviews to journalists of color. you with reaction, charlie hurt and leo to point out terrel. i don't know the rules with the hat when sean is not in, i don't want to get kicked off a show, very specific rules. i noticed you have no hat tonight, but thank you for joining us, i can think of no one better on this topic because it infuriates me as much as it infuriates you. how this is possible that a woman who claims to be a self-professed marxist
6:25 pm
organizer, her words, not mine, she better have some amazing abilities to need a couple of $3 million homes for 3.2 million-dollar portfolios. am i wrong? >> you're absolutely right. black lives matter last summer participated in rioting and democratic cities burning down democratic cities basically demanded and intimidated corporations to pay them and created a $90 million trust fund, show me the money. where has that gone to? has it gone to minority schools, has gone to helping people recover businesses that were burned down and i want to see the paper trail of how she was able to finance $3.2 million worth of homes separated apart from the money collected from black lives matter.
6:26 pm
i'm asking people where is the $90 million. there needs to be an investigation by the irs into how this woman has collected funds to finance and bankroll privately for homes. >> dan: darn right. and listen, i'm a capitalist, good for you, that's a grifter you've got going. however you want to sell your services, you give great speeches and people want to pay you millions, god bless you, but she is not. she said and i quote "i'm a trained marxist organizer. are these not the biggest frauds? socialism is some grief. >> sounds like something we need to get into but that's the problem, the problem is she hasn't created anything, hasn't done the hard work that millions of americans across the country have done to do something that is unique or to offer a unique service for people where is
6:27 pm
justified this kind of money but in a lot of ways, it is how a lot of these operations work in washington where they raise all this kind of money and they skim off some embarrassing amount of money for themselves but i think even by washington standards, per griff does a pretty rich one but i agree with you, the real question that i have is what about those minority-owned businesses and largely minority neighborhoods that were burned to the ground, what about those people who lost their lives? what about those peoples whose homes were burned to the ground by all of this stuff? did they get a cut of this? it seems to me that would make a whole lot more sense than this woman getting the massive cut of it that she has gotten. >> dan: on the second story we had discussed with lori lightfoot, what's really
6:28 pm
sad and tragic here must have one set on my radio show and he brought up a great point, we are only a year or two away from martin luther king being canceled, suggesting we should judge people by the content of your character is now considered near heresy. this is really sad. >> it is horrific and this bothered me more than anything else because charlie is a more qualified reporter, i'm not a reporter. charlie can interview her because of his skin color. this is so embarrassing for a black person to discriminate knowing the history that we hate discrimination and you know what it is? it boils down to her playing a game, and game in which she is trying to deflect black on black crime, her total ignorance towards helping the community and playing the race card and guess who was going to have to defend this frivolous lawsuit being filed against her?
6:29 pm
the taxpayers will have to pay for this, it is outrageous, it's insulting, she is a racist, a racist. >> dan: it's not like -- the taxpayers around the hook for this obvious stupidity and thanks a lot, really appreciate it, got to run and hope you have a great weekend. sara carter is an exclusive report about covid at the border. stephen miller and congressman andy biggs will be with us here, stay with us coming up.
6:30 pm
6:31 pm
6:32 pm
6:33 pm
>> dan: welcome back to the special edition of hannity. president biden and vice president kamala harris continue to ignore the crisis at the southern border. illegal immigrants are flooding across the border which appears
6:34 pm
to be our wide-open border along with astounding quantities of illegal drugs. let's not forget all this is going on during the pandemic. meeting border patrol agents are often exposed to the virus. here to tell us the tragic story as investigative reporter and fox news contributor sara carter. >> a lot of times, we forget the many sacrifices that law enforcement officials make when they are out on the front lines in one of those is actually covid-19, border patrol has more than 8800 people that have become infected with covid-19 and of those, 31 died, one of them was freddy vasquez, border patrol agent that was beloved by everybody in his hometown of el paso. his wife and his four beautiful children have survived him and his wonderful canine partner. i want you to see what his friends and border patrol agents
6:35 pm
have to say about what's happening along the u.s.-mexico border. take a look at this. >> is there is something you would like the american people to know when agents are out there putting their lives on the line? >> as tragic as his story is, he would do it again tomorrow. he knew he could save somebody else by sacrificing his life, he would do it. we saw that and we have seen that with multiple agents and again, he was loved because everybody knew how much he cared about other people. he put other people above self and that's why he lost his life. >> he want a hero, look at freddie. he gave his life for the job and i know him enough to say that if he gets to come back and do it all over again, he wouldn't hesitate. he would do it knowing the risk because he loved this. he was passionate about his family and his work. >> the american people who don't
6:36 pm
understand the sacrifices you will make every day, how do you express to them what the family is going through, young children without a father and a wife without a husband. >> when you see politicians just don't care anymore and i know that's a strong word to say but if you're not doing anything about it and you know there's a problem, you don't care and that's what it comes down to and it's very upsetting because not only is it a slap in the face to the families that we are losing now, the agents losing their life now but it's a slap in the face of the other agents that have the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation's borders. >> freddie vasquez did make the ultimate sacrifice and so did his family but they have a huge support system, dan. they have a huge support system from the border patrol agents that are their own family and they basically retired many early, that was his k-9 partner so that his daughter sammy and
6:37 pm
son isaac would have a little piece of ready to remember him by and the family is extraordinarily grateful and so are the border patrol agents. let's not forget them this memorial day. >> dan: you're doing really important work down there, thank you very much. sadly refusing to enforce the law the border but they're actually doing the same thing in our nation as well. immigration and customs enforcement has been completely handcuffed by the biden administration. for example, i supported fewer than 3,000 people last month, the lowest level on record according to "the washington post" which calls ice and agency on probation here to fight and also reportedly plans to cancel an effort under president trump that would've asked green card applicants of other ever been part of a criminal gang. u.s. citizenship and immigration services said today in a statement they made no final decisions about that and any proposed changes go to the
6:38 pm
appropriate procedures and as we mentioned earlier, the budget just released today requests only 0.1% funding increase for the department of homeland security which includes ice. the justice department only gets a 5.6% increase while every other department gets double digit increase. in announcing the budget today, called it a statement of value, should've called it a statement of bankruptcy. apparently, border security and law enforcement aren't things he values at all. here with reaction, arizona congressman andy biggs and former senior advisor to president trump stephen miller. i will go to you first, just listening to the report in one of the things that disturbed me about this, remember when president trump recovered from coronavirus and secret service agents volunteered to take him in the car so he could show the american people he is okay and the media had an uproar all in protective outfits and protective garb and said oh, my gosh, he's putting them in
6:39 pm
danger of coronavirus. you know it's fascinating? you have all these border patrol agents, documented cases, people could be killed by this and the media all of a sudden -- have you heard anything about that? not a peep. >> is a great point and when thousands of illegal immigrants who show up at the border do so, they are not wearing masks or face shields, have been in some of the most unsanitary and unhygienic environments imaginable, it said epidemiological disaster in these border agents rely on putting their bodies on the line to keep this country safe during the pandemic. my organization along with the state of texas is suing the biden administration for violating their own rules on our southwest border putting our communities at risk for the benefit of illegal aliens. with respect to the ice issue, i want to be very clear about this, these are criminals being
6:40 pm
set free, 92% under donald trump had criminal charges or convictions where they are slashing deportations, gang members, felons, people guilty of sex crimes going free and then on top of that, you have actively planning to get rid of screening for green cards saying we were working on and now i have seen the draft documents showing them trying to get rid of that screening question, that's outrageous. >> dan: when stephen was in the trump white house and i know you followed this as well being inactive congressman on the issue, not fixed, the problem was never solved but the trump administration had done that work in getting a hold of that southern border. really, you have to be a
6:41 pm
democrat to create a problem for a solution. this problem was being fixed, remain in mexico, the asylum rules and they screwed this up. this is absurd. >> that's exactly right. the biden administration inherited a solution and it is everything you say, everything from stopping defense from providing dollars to illegal aliens who come across the stopping the remain in mexico policy, the agreement and now it's not surprising that they are talking about emasculating ice even further but these are criminals that ice goes after, the ones who need to be removed from the country not more than anybody else to keep this country safe in the biden administration won't even acknowledge this, the secretary just said this week the border
6:42 pm
is closed. when i was down there just a couple of weeks ago, it was a steady stream of people coming across and surrendering and that was in the yuma sector and this is everywhere along the border they are not doing enough, not doing anything because i truly believe you can't beat this incompetent. they have to desire this, they campaigned for open borders and that's what this looks like. >> dan: you said something the other night and i don't remember the show but you said something that really got under my skin, you said it's amazing these hotels we are spending tens of millions the house people in the country illegally and you brought up the point we have homeless veterans out there who fought for this country, american citizens with psychological problems on the street and spending tens of millions of dollars to shield people who could have come here illegally and said i don't think so, we will disregard the law and do what we want.
6:43 pm
>> when president trump ran for office, he used to say we treat illegal aliens in this country better than veterans. when he got elected, he switch that and secured our border. we are now literally living in a time, not hyperbole, it is fact that we have homeless veterans and we have a president who is using taxpayer dollars to house illegal aliens. next time you see a veteran on the street who needs help, who needs a path forward for a pass upward, just remember your tax dollars are going to help somebody who has been in this country for hours in violation of our laws to take american jobs and american benefits. it is a thunderous violation of the social contract. >> dan: i really appreciate it, great commentary. coming up next, big tech suing florida over a new state law that protects free speech on social media. of course they are. gregg jarrett and john duffy will react next.
6:44 pm
stay with us. (vo) jamaica. (woman) best decision ever. (vo) feel the sand between your toes, and the gentle waves of the sea on your skin. feel the warm jamaican breeze lift your spirits and nourish your soul. escape to exactly what makes your heart beat. you will love every moment. jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go.
6:45 pm
6:46 pm
emergency planning for kids. we can't predict when an emergency will happen. so that's why it's important to make a plan
6:47 pm
with your parents. here are a few tips to stay safe. know how to get in touch with your family. write down phone numbers for your parents, siblings and neighbors. pick a place to meet your family if you are not together and can't go home. remind your parents to pack an emergency supply kit. making a plan might feel like homework, but it will help you and your family stay safe during an emergency.
6:48 pm
>> dan: welcome back to this hannity special. on monday, florida governor ron desantis took on big tech tyranny when he signed a bill that would allow florida to penalize tech companies that supported political candidates. he said he was doing it all for president trump. he was his excellent response. >> you're a loyal of president donald trump, now a resident in florida and was the platform. is this bill for him? >> the bill is for everyday floridians and it would allow any fully ready and able to provide what they're doing but i do think that's another issue that has been brought to bear when you do platform the president of the united states
6:49 pm
which you let someone talk about killing jews. >> dan: yes, can i get up and give a round of applause? i love this guy. now tech giants facebook, twitter, and google have sued florida and project veritas revealed documents purportedly showing facebook has an algorithm that can be used to target and silent speech that facebook doesn't like. shocker. one who released the documents has gone public following suspension from the company. fox news has not independently verified any claims made in this video. take a look. >> ultimately, seems like any facts that escape a particular narrative are omitted, band, considered dangerous to society. where do you think this is headed, does it get worse from here? >> yes. >> how so?
6:50 pm
>> people accepted and they see this be accepted by the public and they say that the green light to we can go ahead and do this more. >> dan: joining us now is gregg jarrett, cohost of from the kitchen table, the duffy's podcast, former wisconsin congressman sean duffy. i will go to you first, i'm looking forward to that. i used to watch you from the kitchen table on social media, i told you that those were the most engaging videos. i want credit for that. i want royalties on that because it is going to be a regular, i promise. you guys are very talented. you obviously have great chemistry. >> i hope so, nine kids. >> dan: i know, god bless you. you have the olympics for kids, you'd have the gold medal, nine great kids. you have these defective governments out there and what bothers me about these is at least you have some recourse
6:51 pm
against government. you're a congressman, if you were to band a certain lori lightfoot racial group, you would be sued. you could be sued for violating people's civil liberties yet these big tech tyrants, nothing ever seems to happen, they are more powerful than government, i argue. >> because they are not governments. the first amendment applies to them. they came into this lawsuit and said you were violating our first amendment rights of freedom of speech and you are infringing on our ability to mitigate harmful material. let's be clear, these social media platforms are an affront to all of our political speech and all of our free speech. they are shadow banning, the platforming all conservatives across the platforms and we don't have for use of it so what i think is interesting about what's happening here is if you
6:52 pm
look at the old republican party, republican sit back and say we believe in free enterprise and so we want to leave these companies alone and not engage but you have republicans leading into this fight using government to push back and fight back for freedom for the public so we can have a free debate when i think it's going to work than my wife loves twitter and i tell her to get off but i think conservatives have to get off the social media platforms, they make billions of dollars off us and craft content to change how we view issues and how we vote. get off them, find different avenues for your search engines, for your mail, for your social media because they are not our friends. they hate us. >> dan: disclosure, i am an investor in alternate platforms so i have some knowledge in the space and i'm consistently surprised that they get away with this. think about it, how was this not an in-kind donation of
6:53 pm
